2.0 SCOPE
The information contained within this manual covers
the AZL (Azmith and Elevation Read-Out Meter).
3.0 DESCRIPTION
The AZL is used to provide a visual read-out (in de-
grees) of the mechanical position of DC based pan/tilts
such as Pelco's P/T1250DC/PP equipped with position
feedback pots.
The AZL consists of two easily read Simpson meters
mounted on the front panel of the unit along with the
power switch and power on indicator.
The fourteen pin CPC connector on the back panel of
the unit provides the necessary wiring interface for the
unit. This wiring interface is usually integrated with
controller wiring at the point where the cabling con-
nection is made to the P/T (reference Figure 1's simpli-
fied diagram). The rest of the back panel consists of
installation set-up pots for initial meter calibration. A
power input cord, input line fuse and a convenient power
outlet plug round out the back-panel connections.
4.0 INSTALLATION
Installation consists of installing the interconnecting
cable between the AZL and the P/T in use and initial
adjustment of the meters for operation.
4.1 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3. Before connecting
the wiring, set the meter module “full scale” adjust-
ment pots (these are the 5K pots) on the back of the
AZL unit at the full CW (clockwise) position and set
the “center scale” adjustment potentiometers (these are
the 1K pots) on the back of the AZL unit at approxi-
mately center.
Now, reference the AZL wiring diagram in Figure 2.
The wiring for connector pins 2 and 9 go to the “pan
feedback” and “tilt feedback lines”, respectively, on the
P/T, which, in the case of a PT1250DC/PP, share corre-
sponding numbered pinouts. For the rest of the AZL
wiring, we have pin 10 - which is AZL common - that
is wired to feedback common (pin 10) on the P/T and
pin 11 (AZL B
+
, +5VDC) that is wired to “feedback
B
+
” on the P/T. We assume, of course, that any other
additional wiring needed for the system in question has
already been done or is also being done at this time
(controller wiring, for example). Once the wiring inter-
face is in place, the next thing to consider is AZL meter
adjustment.

4.2.1 Preliminary Remarks
Figure 3 is a diagram of the internal wiring (minus power
supplies, etc.) of that part of the AZL unit related to
meter adjustment. Shown there are the full and center
scale pots for pan and tilt on the AZL as they would be
wired to the respective position feedback pots on a Pelco
P/T1250DC/PP. Interconnections between the two units

The meter adjustment procedure for both the pan and
tilt meters follows the same method. Assuming you have

4.2.2 Pan Meter Adjustment
1. Turn on the power switch. There should be a slight
noticeable change in the meter reading.
2. Activate the PAN LEFT switch and observe the
pan meter reading. The AZL pan meter readout
should approach “0” as the unit rotates. The unit
will stop at the extreme left position. Note the meter
reading. For our example, let's assume the reading
is 60° (see Fig. 5a).
3. Note the meter reading and activate the PAN
RIGHT switch until the unit reaches the extreme
right position. Note the meter reading. For our ex-
ample, lets assume the reading is 330°
(see Fig.
5b).
4. These two meter readings define the “deflection
range” of the meter (in our case 330° - 60° = 270°,
see Fig. 5c) and mirrors mechanical pan movement
of the P/T between its extremes. This “range” must
now be shifted (in our case, to the left) by adjust-
ing the “center scale potentiometer” (PAN 1K pot,
see Fig. 3) on the AZL back-panel to obtain a bal-
anced meter deflection at both ends. The simplest
method of calculating what the balanced meter
deflection should be at both ends is to subtract the
“deflection range” from the total meter range and
divide by 2.
In our example:
360°
-
270°/ 2 = 90°/ 2 = 45°
In other words, the entire range should be shifted
to the left enough so that the difference between
the deflection range reading made at the PAN LEFT
operation and 0° and the difference between the
PAN RIGHT operation and 360° are equal and have
a value of 45°. In our example, then, we require
the PAN RIGHT meter reading to be (360°- 45°),
or 315°. The current meter reading is at 330°, so
you must now adjust the “center scale pot” (PAN
1K pot, see Fig. 3) until you obtain a meter read-
ing of 315°. This shifts or “rotates” the entire de-
flection range for a balanced meter deflection at
both ends as indicated in Figure 5d.
5. Now adjust the “full scale potentiometer” (PAN
5K Pot, see Fig. 3) on the back of the AZL unit to
obtain a reading of 360°.
6. Finally, activate the PAN LEFT switch until the
unit reaches the extreme left position. Verify the
meter reading to be “0” degrees. Make minor ad-
justments as necessary.

4.2.3 Tilt Meter Adjustment
Use the same methods for the tilt adjustment as those
just employed for the pan meter adjustment.
Once the procedure is complete, the extreme electrical
rotation limits can be reset down from the factory maxi-
mum settings.
5.0 OPERATION
When power is applied to the unit the power LED on
the front panel lights.
The pan and tilt meters on the front of the AZL unit
will give a direct, visual, real-time readout, in degrees,
of the physical orientation of the pan/tilt to which it has
been electrically connected.
